PREFACE 


T^HIS  volume  contains  a  compilation  of 
statements  obtained  from  firemen  employed 
on  certain  railroads  in  the  United  States, 
showing  expenses  incurred  by  them  for  meals  and 
room  while  away  from  their  home  terminal. 

In  order  to  obtain  this  information  certain  forms 
were  sent  out  during  the  month  of  August,  1919, 
by  the  Acting  President,  Brotherhood  of  Loco- 
motive Firemen  and  Enginemen,  each  fireman  being 
requested  to  complete  one  of  the  forms  and  re- 
turn same  on  or  before  September  1,  1919.  How- 
ever, owing  to  the  limited  amount  of  time  in  which 
to  assemble  and  compile  this  data,  men  employed 
on  many  of  the  railroads  were  unable  to  make 
returns  in  time  to  be  included  in  this  compilation, 
while  in  other  instances,  only  a  portion  of  the  men 
employed  on  certain  railroads  had  sufficient  time 
in  which  to  respond. 

The  first  page  of  the  volume  shows  in  detail,  the 
style  of  form  used  to  obtain  information  from  fire- 
men concerning  "expenses  away  from  home**.  The 
remaining  pages  of  the  volume  have  been  con- 
densed so  as  to  show  only  the  name  of  railroad, 
name  of  party  making  statement,  service  in  which 
employed,  expense  for  meals  and  room  and  the 
total  expense  for  the  month. 

The  original  forms  from  which  this  volume  has 
been  compiled  are  on  file  and  accessible  for  refer- 
ence. 

This  information  was  collected  during  the  month 
of  August,  1919,  and  represents  the  average 
monthly  "expenses  away  from  home**  incurred  by 
firemen  for  meals  and  room.  From  this  statement 
it  will  be  noted  that  a  large  portion  of  the  monthly 
earnings  of  locomotive  firemen  must  be  used  in 
defraying  expenses  incurred  away  from  their  home 
terminal.  *

Have  been  on  freight  between  Globe  and  Bowie  at  intervals  during  the  three 
months,  which  accounts  for  my  low  expenditure  on  the  road. 

Local  freight  has  Sunday  lay-over  away  from  home  terminal.  S.  P.  Hotel  at 
Bowie  is  short  order  house.     A  75c  rneal  is  short  ration.

On  local  freight  week-end  is  spent  away  from  home  on  account  of  lay-over  in  Bowie, 
and  on  through  freight  a  man  is  often  kept  in  Bowie  for  as  long  as  50  to  65  hours,  and 
nothing  is  allowed.  This  causes  considerable  expense,  especially  to  a  man  with  a 
family.

I  am  forced  to  buy  two  meals  away  from  home  every  day  and  stay  over  in  Chama 
every  other  night.  Meals  and  rooms  in  Chama  are  50  cents  each  at  the  Company 
eating  house.  These  meals  are  getting  so  poor  that  about  twice  a  week  I  buy  an  extra 
meal  at  another  restaurant  to  get  enough  to  eat.

The  reason  for  cheap  room  at  Helper  is  that  the  majority  of  the  men  stay  at  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  by  the  payment  of  an  annual  membership  fee  of  $6.00  you  are  given 
a  bed  for  twenty  cents.  The  majority  of  the  rooms  contain  four  beds  and  the  payment 
of  the  20  cents  entitles  you  to  bed  only  and  not  the  room.

In  filling  out  this  account  of  expenses  away  from  home,  this  is  what  it  would 
amount  to.  But  on  account  of  our  small  wages  I  cannot  afford  to  do  so.  I  carry  my 
basket  and  do  my  own  cooking  and  room  in  a  bunk  house  which  the  company  ha^s 
provided  which  is  neither  comfortable  nor  sanitary.

In  this  statement  of  meals  and  room  I  averaged  up  as  we  have  3  places  to  eat 
one  is  at  Poplar  BuflF,  Mo.,  and  you  can  not  get  by  there  less  than  75c  and  Piedmont 
Mo.,  meals  are  50c.  At  Illmo,  Mo.,  meals  are  40c  but  you  cannot  get  a  regular  meal 
half  the  time  as  we  do  not  get  in  in  time  and  have  to  eat  short  orders  and  that  is 
about  75  or  80c  a  meal.
